Default Re: risers and bimini

Hi,

My Bimini guy is coming today to redo my bimini like yours. Your advice made a lot of sense, thanks.

On water injestion/risers, mine are maybe 10 inches above the water line when the boat is light. Get 1500 lbs in it and a bunch of guys in the stern and I hate to think. You advised 13 inches, is that loaded or light? Is there any down side to adding 4 inch or even 6 inch riser extensions?

My engine is a 5.7 fuel injected. Do you know if the water injestion problems were as bad on the 5.7s as the big blocks?

Connor
